Diamonds For Dinner.

Chapter 3

I put the phone aside and went drowning in my thought once again, until the phone rang again.
But this time it's not John.
It's Brad.
I saw myself wanting to pick it up yet not wanting to pick it up. I wanted to say to his face what I heard and how much hurt I was but I couldn't figure out why do I still love him when he hates me but then the thought hits me. He doing this all because he's in love and I'm doing this all because I'm in love.
We're in love. Just not with each other.
The phone is still ringing.
I should pick it up, I should throw this phone out of the window or should I bury my head in this lie and love it.
I picked it up.
''Hey, why did you pick it up so late?'' Brad Questioned.
''Oh Sorry about it, I-I-I was just about to but-''
''But what?'' He questioned again
''Never Mind, I was just about to so yeah sorry''
''Is everything okay?'' His questions are killed me.
''Brad, Let's end this please. I can't take this anymore, the more I talk to you. The more I fall and I swear no one catches me, I keep falling and now I've finally decided to get back up by myself'' I said holding back the tears.
''What do you mean?''
''Dont act like you know nothing, I know this little game. It's not fair to claim you love someone when you hate them, if you came to me as a poor man I would've given you in charity what you needed. Why did you had to play? The woman you loved from the start, go back to her. Forget me to make it easier for me to forget you.''
''Who told you this? I love you Lana, I don't know what you're talking about, I think you read a false media article, babe you're my only love.'' Another question from him.
''I figured it out myself, Do you really think you can hide it from me for so long? I don't want to talk about this just end this here, let's forget this and move on with our lives. I wish you the best with whatever and honestly if you're so hungry for money, make your own, Bye"
It has ended.
The work of two year has been over in two minute.
My phone rings again.
It's Brad.
I left my phone on the kitchen counter and went to my room, my face was all wet from my tears, I buried my face in the pillow and close my eyes to stop the crying.

*

The sun hits my face and I know it's time to get up, I peek to the clock and its 9 AM.
I went over to the bathroom and saw that my eyes are swollen but its okay, I think to myself, sometimes it's good to cry out all you've been crying inside for.
I washed my face, do the usual and ate my breakfast and head over to the studio.
'Good Morning!' John says in a jolly tone.
'Morning' I reply back.
'So what master piece are we going to write today?' He questions.
' Lets see.' I smirk.
We sit on the sofa and I write a break up song. Yes because this going to be about the break up.
John didn't  even do the writing with me, he was  only there in the studio to make sure of some arrangements, I wrote this song alone because only I knew what I went through.
Oh I remember the day when you said you bought the carnival ticket and it gave me shivers down my spine because I never liked those roller-coasters but I wanted to ride it because of you, but when I turned around you were gone to sit with someone new. I thought it was a lie because this can't be it. You can fake a smile and fake a life yet you want me to never do the same.
I sang a part of the song to John and he was beaming and screamed aloud 'Its a hit!'
'I hope so!'
After the studio session, I walked to the nearby restaurant and grab my lunch and I see him.
Brad. With the woman who ruined my little lie life.
I walked past both, I knew they saw me but Brad didn't even bother calling my name, not even a surprise anymore because I knew he hated me, they both hated me.
I walked back to the studio and started my car and drove to Jenny's house, My best friend, 3 time Grammy winner.
I knock the door.
'Hey, Come in Lana! Wait a minute, are you crying!? Oh My God! What Happened!!?'
'Brad was a liar, he loved someone else'
'What! Come in and tell me all that happened!'
I went inside and sat on the sofa and Jenny turned ON the fireplace, it's felt so peaceful and relaxing there.
'So from A-Z, shall we?'
'I went to a coffee shop and I heard them talking about me, Brad told the woman that he was only with me for my money and that once he had it he would leave me to live with her forever'
'Who's the woman?'
'His ex'
'You Mean Julie?'
'Yeah'
'Lana, I can't believe what he did with you, I thought he was a honest, kind man, who knew there was a devil behind that smile, Okay, now don't cry please, I know it's not easy but you can't cry over someone who didn't even love you, Stop crying and lets go out shopping'
' I don't feel like it'
'of course you don't'
We got ready and stepped out and yes someone tweeted our place and we  got mobbed instead of shopping.
Finally, we made it to the shop and I saw people sticking to the glass window, We Bought a dress and some more things and thanks to our bodyguard we made it to the SUV, we drove off from the mob but my bodyguard told me that people were running after the car so the driver made some sharp turns and twists and we lost them and finally made it back to Jenny's mansion.
